Smudging is an old and ancient practice used by Native Americans, witches and spiritualists worldwide where the burning of herbs is used for cleansing and purification before sacred ritual. Smudging calls on the spirits of sacred plants to drive away negative energies restoring peace and balance. White Sage has a lovely all-natural, sweet aromatic aroma and is known for its healing properties and is a symbol of purity. For clearing and cleansing the body and your sacred space, vanquishing negative energies and clearing away any unwanted emotional garbage.

To use a sage wand, light the sage wand and smoke all around your body to cleanse and purify yourself. This is done before ritual or spell casting. To clear the home, light the sage wand and begin in the eastern corner of your house, moving in a counterclockwise direction to each corner of the home. When you are banishing negative energies, you always want to smudge in a counterclockwise direction. To bring good positive energies forth and also for blessings, move your sage wand in a clockwise direction. Extinguish in a abalone shell after use.

Gathered from the Pt. Reyes seashore in California, each bundle of dried white sage is tied together with thread and measures about 6 inches long and 1.75 inches wide. You will receive one handmade smudge wand.
